The story: Turquoise, derived from the ancient French word “Turkish stone” owes its name to the erroneous belief that it came to Europe through Turkey, although its origins extend to regions such as Persia, Egypt, and the American Southwest. Revered as a sacred stone by Native American cultures, turquoise is a symbol of protection, wisdom and positive energy. Its captivating shades of blue and green evoke the colors of the sky and sea, creating a link between nature and spirituality.
